Vladimir Gorsky (1953–2008) was a Russian-American painter.
Gorsky was born in Moscow and emigrated from Russia to Texas in 1987 where he continued his career as an artist. His art is on the walls of heads of state, private collectors, and art galleries around the world. His portfolio ranges from a Russian fairy tale series to miniature gold-leafed portraits on small wooden eggs. Special projects include "From the Depth of Ages" depicting historical artwork from stone tablets to the Mona Lisa. A well known piece is his painting "Tapestry of the Centuries" representing 2,000 years of world history. The medium is mixed media on canvas. The original canvas measuring 9' × 18' took 3 years to paint and comprises 350 people and events that shaped the history of the world from the time of Christ up to the year 2000. This painting has achieved international recognition. The 'Tapestry' is currently on display at the Museum of Biblical Art in Dallas TX.
Another painting, 7½' × 12½', called "Miracle of the Desert", shows many historical images of Las Vegas. Vladimir's collection of pop art "Celebrity Portraits" of musicians, Hollywood idols, world famous icons and entertainers captures the essence of the 20th century in a bold style that is modern yet timeless.
